Lovely fotos iof the blasters

Yes Keith the view point and binevnagh has perfect landing areas but the best area I have seen for landing and slope is rathlin island.
We are so lucky to have these great slopes on our door step

The winds were not in our favour this weekend bit we still managed to have an amazing fun time.

Hi Fred and all , it 8.07am here on the north coast and it is really stunning weather !! Wall to wall sun shine but the down side is there is not a breath of air.  
I have spent the last 2 days fly the DLG blaster and its been perfect for thermal flying
Yesterday I was joined by a full size glider and the pilot really entertained me ! He did loops stall turns rolls and a very very nice perfect flat spin inverted !!!
Today is going to be about thermal flying and I know Fred is a master of thermals. I'm so looking forward to watching his skills.
Tonight we have arranged for a beach party and Andrew is bringing the guitar !!! Mega fun

I'm sure you all wish you were here !!!

Hi Fred I'm heading up to the coast tomorrow (Thursday) I think it would be best to meet you at coleraine and then I can take you out to the caravan
I would think your journey time would be 3 hrs !!!
I will speak with Jp tonight and see when he is going up to the coast as he could also meet up with u on Armagh

Hi all due to the solid forecast for northerly winds on Saturday we have decided to cancel the road/ sea trip to rathlin !!

On Saturday we will be fly of the mountain at binevnagh
We will be meeting up at downhill beach car park at 11am and making our way to the slope.
Saturday evening we will be beach flying so try to bring suitable planes.

Sunday is looking like easterly winds so if the conditions are right we might take the ferry to Donegal to fly of Mallon head. The ferry only takes half an hour. Another new experience unfolds.

I will update as time gets closer.

Hi all, just a quick update on the road sea trip to rathlin island.
We will be meeting in the ferry car park ballycastle at 9.40 with the intentions of catching the 10.15 sailing to rathlin.
Cost of the ferry is £11.50 return
Journing time is about 45 mins
Over 60s with a smart pass travel free.
So far I have 6 people traveling to paradise for slopers
Let me know if anyone else intends to join us
When we return Saturday evening we intend to have food etc at castlerock then with the help of Andrew some bungee flying of the beach or maybe a bit of air towing.

Sunday will be again at the hands of the weather gods but Andrew has a few ideas to keep us adventurous !!!!!
Just lets say you will have the time of your life and experience some new sites
